The Best Chocolate Cake in the World…

1 Chocolate cake mix

4 eggs

1/2 C. vegetable oil

1 Pint sour cream

1 small package instant chocolate pudding

1 large package chocolate chips (about 2 cups)

Grease and flour bunt pan well.  Beat first five ingredients with a mixer for at least 2 min. Stir in chocolate chips and pour into pan.  Bake at 350 for 1 hr or slightly under, let cool completely in pan.

Chocolate Ganache

 4-5 oz bittersweet chocolate (I buy a 4 oz bar of 60% Ghiradelli)

1/2 C. heavy cream

Place the chocolate into a medium bowl. Heat the cream in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Bring just to a boil, watching very carefully because if it boils for a few seconds, it will boil out of the pot. When the cream has come to a boil, pour over the chopped chocolate, and whisk until smooth.
